COURSE CONTENT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The practical and laboratory side of Creative Writing involves a serious examination of the art and technique of writing, which includes the study and interpretation of a variety of literary texts, their structure and language, using literary theories such as semiotics, narratology, reading theories, feminist cultural criticism, etc. Literary texts representing different literary genres are studied, including genres of children&#8217;s literature.<\/p>\n<p>The course focuses in particular on the creative reading and writing of the children&#8217;s book, from idea, conception, inspiration, to writing. Its goals are to develop in students the ability to value and evaluate literary texts, while at the same time offering them access to ideas, new approaches and techniques in the way of literary writing. In this way they will develop the skills that will allow them to experiment with writing themselves, but also, most importantly, they will be able to activate the creativity of their own students in turn.<\/p>\n<p>Indicative thematic sections:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Literature and children&#8217;s literature<\/li>\n<li>Elements of semiotics<\/li>\n<li>Elements of storytelling.
